An ordinary cane helps you walk. The Stand By Me Cane also helps you get up. Its 4-foot base is steady enough to push down on as you rise from a chair, sofa or bed, so your arms take part of the effort from your legs – like having a handrail wherever you sit. Then it walks with you.
The swivelling base has non-slip rubber feet that grip on tile, wood and carpet. When you let go, the cane stands upright on its own, within reach: no leaning it against a wall, no bending down to pick it up. And for all its four feet, the aluminium frame weighs just 550 g, about as much as a standard cane.
Up from a seat
Push down on the steady base to stand up with less strain on your legs.
Stands on its own
Let go and it stays upright beside your chair, by the bed or in the car.
Non-slip
Four rubber feet that grip on tile, wood, carpet and paved paths.
Light to carry
550 g of aluminium: easy to take shopping, out to eat or on a trip.
Fits most adults
8 heights from 77.5 to 91 cm, for users 149 to 180 cm tall.
Comfortable grip
A soft foam handle, and a second foam grip lower down, to hold it with both hands.
Made for getting up and around: from sitting to standing, at home and over short to medium distances. On long walks, take rest breaks.
1. Set the height
Stand upright in your everyday shoes, arms relaxed at your sides: the top of the handle should be level with your wrist. To change it, pull out the ring, slide the lower tube to the hole you need, and push the ring back in to lock it.
2. Stand up
Sit near the front of the seat with the cane upright in front of you. Hold the handle, lean forward and push down on it as you stand. Wait a moment until you feel steady.
3. Walk
Hold the cane in the hand opposite your weaker or painful leg, and move it forward together with that leg.
4. Let go
Set it down on all four feet and it stands on its own, ready for the next time you get up.
Where to use it
Indoors on tile, wood and carpet; outdoors on flat pavements, patios and paved paths.
Where to avoid
Gravel, sand and steep slopes, where the four feet can't all touch the ground.
Worn rubber feet lose their grip. Check them now and then; the replacement base is TAH008.

How is it different from an ordinary cane?
An ordinary cane only helps you walk. This one's 4-foot base is steady enough to push down on as you stand up from a chair, sofa or bed, so your arms help your legs. It's like having a handrail wherever you sit.
Will it fit me?
It adjusts in 8 steps from 77.5 to 91 cm, which suits users from 149 to 180 cm tall.
How much weight does it take?
Up to 110 kg. The four feet spread the load evenly for steady support.
Is it heavy?
No. The aluminium frame weighs 550 g, about the same as a standard single-tip cane.
Does it fold?
No, but it doesn't need to: it stands upright on its own beside your chair, by the bed or in the car, and won't fall over.
Will it slip on tiles?
No. All four feet have non-slip rubber tips that grip on tile, wooden floors and carpet.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, on flat ground: pavements, patios and paved paths. Avoid gravel, sand and steep slopes, where the four feet can't all touch the ground.
Is it for long walks?
It is made for getting up and around, and for short to medium distances. On longer walks, take rest breaks.
